Great assessment of Tim. I really like him and I think he will get better with more full time training. Right now he is a top quality Cup player who will do a job if needed in small periods.
I have been saying to my mates all year. The chiefs hardly put together a decent full game all year their win/loss record didn’t paint an accurate picture, no disrespect to them as they do have some superstars. Eagles unbelievable on defence today.
Has been a huge change in my circle of friends. I started watching it around 15 years ago and not 1 of my mates watched it. Now all of my mates watch it. I reckon it will sell out. I think they will smash us with ticket prices.
I was very impressed with TDS whenever he played Nrl level. I was worried he would want out when Api re-signed but he seems very keen on doing an apprenticeship under Api. Really keen to see how he progresses this year
Its pretty much the same as opposed sessions except against another club you don’t know the plays so it challenges defence. Opposed sessions Nrl v Cup from same club everyone knows the plays. We did one v dogs in 2023. Knights usually play storm in one as well. Its normally done behind closed...
I gathered we do some recruitment but he also mentioned they watch tapes, which suggests agents or parents sending in tapes which happens everywhere. Those carnivals can unearth some great talent
Firstly love the pod lads. I am sure Shannon was just keeping his cards close to his chest but when he said we don’t recruit from outside of our region was extremely alarming, in fact if that is the case that is scouting negligence and whoever made that decision needs to either change that rule...
News today that MCG will host regular season nfl games in 2026, 2027, 2028. Rams v Eagles for 2026. I don’t support either team but I am definitely keen to go.
I agree. Imagine being part of the next finals appearance with us having started in our Harold Matts, Imagine being a part of our next premiership coming from our pathways. Time will tell. I hope he stays but as I have said before Richo will be well and truly on top of this
Just on Galvin its pretty easy to join the dots that Lachy is off to Parra. Dylan Brown may leave so that opens up the 6 spot and frees up the type of coin Lachy will probably want. His manager is the uncle of the newly appointed Eels captain. He grew up an Eels fan. We are hearing from Lachy...
Agree. Ivan Cleary is one of best defensive coaches in the game. He Scored points for fun when he played. I have heard plenty of people in the game say Todd Payten has the sharpest mind when it comes to attack (although Todd probably considered himself playing out of position at prop and not at...
I have a couple. I ran into Terry Hill (RIP) at a cafe once. Only weeks earlier he was ruled out for us against Panthers with a groin injury. I was sitting next to the players tunnel at Panthers stadium. When the teams ran out onto the field here comes big Tez. Instead of using the steps to get...
My tip for Superbowl was Lions v Bills. Lions too many injuries but probably wouldn’t have beaten the Eagles and the Chiefs just come up clutch so many times. Gonna be an awesome game
